One thing I don't like is the start of day 1 noms where everyone races to be first. It stresses me out, people sometimes preemptively post by mistake, plus there are other undesirable things about it. If there is any way we could get rid of people racing to be first on day 1, whether this contest or the next, it would be nice. No idea how that would be done, though.

Everyone privately submits an ordered list of their Day 1 nominations before Day 1 starts.
A list of everyone who submitted something is put in a random order.
Songs are ordered snake draft style.
It starts with the first song of the first random person.
Continues to the first song of the last random person.
Next is the second song of the last random person and snakes back to the top.
After that is the third song of the first person and so on.

It's too much effort to bother with, but it can be done. There are probably other ways to do it as well.
